What a great write up of a fascinating story. I'm constantly impressed at the writing coming out of the emulation world. I can't think of any other technical niche that produces su…

I disagree that the sport is about bikes. I think the sport is about cyclists. The olympics is particular is built around human athletic competition not technical competition. How …

That example is appalling and indefensible. I think it's important to note that it has been condemned by BDS. According to the website you linked to - "Even the BDS Movement has ca…

If you expect not to be judged for your worst behaviour, then everyone around you won't live a happy life.

The information was in the post - ws2812 (or ws281x, there are variations) which are also known by the semi-brandname "neopixel". They come in various form factors including fairy …

The debate isn't about whether the technology should be available to millions but whether (and how much) apple should have to pay for the technology. Either Apple are guilty or bei…

The impression I got was that Massimo was paying fairly for the development team of a medical product. As soon as the technology had a consumer application, the market value of the…

Im not sure running TrueNAS counts as learning ZFS, which I think is GP's point. If you want to use ZFS, then TrueNAS with sensible defaults is a great way to go. If you want to le…

I see a thread of people talking about their experience of the game and how aspects of it made them feel. That's exactly what a forum is for, and a very legitimate way to engage wi…

Most western democracies dont publicise arrests and mugshots like the US. Most of these countries are more free and have better functioning democracies than the USA. In fact, many …

I agree it's common and not underhanded. But it's not always smart business. Most commercial tenants are still resonsibile for maintenance, which is the primary ongoing expertise. …

Iirc, following the entirely justified backlash he had to back down from that and surrendered the trademark to the wework.

You may have come across this concept already, but this is where clean rooms come in. One person views the "contaminated" decompiled code and writes a specification. A separate per…

This quote supports my position. Digital goods are treated differently by the act to other goods(hence them being mentioned specifically in this section). Purchasing non-digital go…

Unreal is not open source. I think you might mean that unreal is "source available" which doesn't confer any of the rights of open source, but does allow you to view and modify the…

No, GP is incorrect. Digital goods are treated differently under the act.

Redhat can absolutely stop doing business with someone in a protected class. They can stop doing business with anyone in any protected class. What they can't do is stop doing busin…

Worth noting for the audience - this is a historical issue. Facebook removed the restriction and changed to a straight forward MIT license in 2017.

The East India Company would like a word.

The same was true for the holy grail too. Other financiers included (iirc) led zeppelin and other British rock greats. The top marginal rate of income tax was ~90% and this heavily…

(Context, I'm already within the ulez. I can see the boundary from my house.) The diesel fraud over the last couple of decades is really unfortunate. It's messed over a lot of peop…

Thats not actually the issue with talc. The talc itself is not believed to be the carcinagen, but the talc is contaminated with asbestos. Interal documents show that J&J knew about…

But the combined product is not in being released in accordance with the GPL, so it is incompatible.

This isn't how the games industry works for games at thia scale (or any other media). They are events. Millions of people having the same experience at the same time and having a c…
